\newcommand\gradingPolicy{\noindent
Lab scores will be aggregated into a single final percentage score. This percentage score will be converted to a letter grade on the following scale:
A(93 -- 100), A--(90 -- 92.9), B+(87 -- 89.9), B(83 -- 86.9), B--(80 -- 82.9), C+(77 -- 79.9), C(73 -- 76.9), C--(70 -- 72.9), D+(67 -- 69.9), D(63 -- 66.9), D--(60 -- 62.9), F(<60).

Thus, for instance, if there are six lab assignments in the semester and your scores are 85/100, 90/100, 80/100, 90/100, 190/200 and 160/200, then your final score is 695/800 i.e.\ 86.9\%. Thus, your final grade is B+.}
\newcommand\HWandLabPolicy{Laboratory assignments will be graded on factors such as their successful completion in accordance with stated specifications, the timely submission of source code and laboratory reports (if asked for), and adequate code documentation.

\textbf{Late assignments will be assessed a 10\% penalty per day}, up to the posted cut-off date. \textbf{After the cut-off date, lab submissions WILL NOT be accepted} unless compelling medical or personal reasons are provided along with supporting documentation.

Please be sure to bring a university-approved laptop to the lab. All programs must be written in C++ using Anjuta SDK and compiled using the GNU C++ compiler under the Ubuntu Linux operating system. You may also need to demonstrate your working programs on your own laptop if we have trouble compiling and running it on our systems. Therefore, an essential (and implicit) component of your grade is keeping your laptop in good working order and getting it serviced in a timely manner, if it malfunctions. You must also back up your work on an external USB or cloud drive, just in case your laptop becomes inoperable. Please take this responsibility seriously if you value your grade.}
\newcommand\AttendancePolicy{A roll call will not be taken but attendance is required in all lab sessions. Lab sessions are for getting help interactively for your lab assignments. The first fifteen minutes of each lab session are especially important to attend since the instructor will provide directions for successful completion of that week's assignment.

However, please note that most lab assignments will require a few additional hours outside of lab sessions in order to finish your assignment. Also please realize that the instructor's and TA's office hours are not meant to be used as substitutes to lab attendance.

\newcommand\ElectronicsPolicy{\textcolor{red}{Since you opted for a customize electronics policy, you should edit this part. Your policy should address your general stance on recording of class sessions and the circumstances under which recording will be allowed or prohibited. If you generally prohibit recording, yet allow recording of certain classes for some reason, then you should notify all students that those classes will be recorded. If recording is permitted as an ADA accommodation for a student, you obviously should not identify that student(s).}}
